Operative Text

Cal. Civ. Code § 441.070
No notice to quit shall be necessary from or to a tenant whose term is to end at a certain time, or when, by special agreement, notice is dispensed with.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.070, a landlord is not required to give a formal notice to quit—and a tenant is not entitled to receive one—when the lease already specifies a fixed end date or when the parties have expressly agreed in writing to waive the notice requirement. In those situations, the tenancy ends by operation of the agreed terms without any additional notice step. This rule applies symmetrically: neither side needs to act to trigger the end of the tenancy once the agreed conditions are met.

For Property Managers

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.070, operators whose leases state a definite expiration date generally do not need to serve a separate notice to quit before reclaiming possession at the end of the term. Compliant practice typically includes drafting lease agreements with clear, unambiguous end dates or explicit notice-waiver clauses so that the provision's conditions are plainly satisfied. Keeping copies of signed lease agreements that document the agreed term or waiver is a standard part of records management for this purpose.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 441.070 means that if your lease has a fixed end date or contains a clause waiving notice, your landlord is not legally obligated to send you a separate notice to quit before the tenancy expires. Tenants in this situation should be aware that the lease terms themselves govern when the tenancy ends, and reviewing those terms carefully is important. If there is a dispute about whether a notice-waiver clause is enforceable or whether proper agreement was reached, tenant-rights organizations or a local legal aid office can help explain available options, including raising the issue as a defense in any eviction proceeding.
